Literature Review • Vingtdeux, 2005 (O’Neill, 2002)
Literature Review • Anekonda, 2006 (Rodgers, 2006)
Literature Review • Duchen, 2004 (Marambaud, 2005)
Hypothesis/ Purpose • The purpose of the experiment is to analyze the therapeutic and preventative potential of Resveratrol on Alzhemier’s disease. • Alternate - with the administration of Resveratrol in the CL 2006 model, amyloid-beta production will slow, and the spread of the amyloid-beta molecules will reduce. • Null - There will be no change in amyloid beta production nor paralysis with the addition of Resveratrol.
Protocols • Preparation of Bacterial Plates (Siernagle, 2009) (Yun, 2007)
Protocols • Resveratrol Administration (Halliwell, 2004) • Concentration <or = to 100 micromolars (Lenker, 2001)
Protocols • C. elegans synchronization • Paralyzed versus Non-Paralyzed (Cheng,2002)
Protocols • Staining using Congo Red Dye-registers Amyloid Beta Plaques (Zhao, 1999)
Do-Ability • This project is do-able because we have all the necessary materials in the lab • C. elgegans (both CL 2006 and wild-type) are readily available as well as their environments ie; plates, food, living conditions • Resveratrol is also readily available, it can be purchased relatively easily • Amyloid Stain is readily available • Microscope/s are available along with the prism and a Motic camera are also readily available; thus observation is do-able

Measure lifespan, stain, and measure amyloid-beta levels Monitor Life Span, Stain, and obeserve amyloid-beta levels Tested in order to make sure that the amyloid-beta is being targeted (2 or 3 trials) Treat with Resveratrol prior to paralysis. Measure Lifespan, stain,and measure amyloid-beta levels. Monitor Lifespan Record Qualitative and Quantitative Data based upon the observations, and following the protocols, (Lifespan, Amyloid-Beta Levels) Statistical Analysis by Two Way Anova followed by Scheffe Post-Hoc (p<.05)
